Interesting, since I bought Trifecta, for the rest, I would rank similarly, except I would put Fathom ahead of Supermoon.

New Head-Fier
I made my first review of a unit, hope it is okay! 
Pros:
- Impressive soundstage and imaging
- Powerful, well-extended bass
- Exceptional detail retrieval
- Premium build quality and aesthetics
- Extensive accessory package
Cons:
- Somewhat heavy for prolonged use
Short Impressions of the Dunu Glacier
The Dunu Glacier, a flagship IEM from the renowned audio company, offers a truly immersive listening experience that lives up to its name. As a recipient of this review unit, I'd like to share my unbiased thoughts on these remarkable earphones.
Unboxing, Design, and Comfort
The Glacier arrives in a luxurious package (Judging from pictures of the complete set), complete with an array of accessories that cater to every audiophile's needs. The 904L stainless steel shells exude premium quality, featuring a hand-polished mirror finish that's visually striking. While the IEMs are on the heavier side, they surprisingly didn't cause significant discomfort during listening sessions once the right combination of cable and tips was combined.
However, I did find that some experimentation was necessary to achieve the perfect fit. It took some tip-rolling and trying different cables with suitable ear hooks to find the most comfortable configuration for my ears. This process, while time-consuming, was ultimately rewarding.
Sound Impressions
The Glacier delivers a powerful and engaging sound signature across the entire frequency spectrum. The tribrid driver configuration, consisting of one dynamic driver, four balanced armatures, and four electrostatic drivers per side, results in a cohesive and technically impressive presentation.
The bass response is particularly noteworthy, offering deep extension and a satisfying punch that adds weight to the overall sound. The midrange is clear and detailed, though I found it to be quite forward and intense at times. The treble region shines with exceptional resolution and air, thanks to the four EST drivers.
One of the Glacier's standout features is its expansive soundstage, which creates a sense of space and dimensionality that's truly impressive for an IEM. The level of detail retrieval is excellent, allowing you to pick up on subtle nuances in your music.
It's worth noting that the Glacier's sound signature is quite intense and engaging. While this makes for an exhilarating listening experience, it's not necessarily the most relaxing set. I wouldn't recommend using these for bedtime listening, as their revealing nature and dynamic presentation might keep you more alert than desired.
Summary
The Dunu Glacier is a testament to pushing boundaries of IEM technology. Its combination of premium build quality, extensive accessories, and impressive sound make it a strong contender in the Kilobuck+ IEM market.
While the Glacier's weight and intense sound signature may not be for everyone, those seeking a powerful, detailed, and spacious listening experience will find much to love here. The Glacier delivers a full-on, "extra everything" tuning.
In conclusion, the Dunu Glacier offers a captivating listening experience be that an intensive one. I want to thank the AudioGeek community for the opportunity to have a run with these and my first time trying to put in to actual words how I experience sound!
